This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I don't know that they care much for choice. Skyrim is really watered down in terms of roleplaying aspects compared to Oblivion, which in turn is really watered down compared to Morrowind.

Hell some genuinely complain about Morrowind not being a good RPG because of it missing aspects from Daggerfall, like the whole having to go to court if you commit a crime.

When it comes to Skyrim, I think the strength begins and ends in the world building. The characters are flat and uninspired. The quests are flat and uninspired. The voice acting is cringe and uninspired. If they'd bothered to write more engaging storylines, and have more than one pivotal character have a unique voice actor, they could've made something really nice.

Now it's a nice sandbox, and you can have some nice experiences, but I wouldn't call it a good RPG. Or a good action game. A fun sandbox world and modding platform with subpar quests and dungeons.
